The Tempest. Twelfth Night. A Winter's Tale

For twelve years, the sorcerer Prospero has lived on a mysterious island inhabited by magical creatures, stripped of his crown and homeland by his usurping brother. But one day, a ship carrying all his enemies sets out to sea, and... Prospero conjures a magical storm to cast his foes onto his island... The daughter of the King of Sicily, Leontes, saved from destruction in infancy, lives a peaceful life as a shepherdess in Bohemia and knows nothing of her noble lineage. However, she is loved by the son of the Bohemian king, Florizel... The Duke of Illyria is passionately in love with the young widow, Countess Olivia, and has no idea that his trusted young Cesario is actually Viola, a girl hopelessly in love with him who is pretending to be a young man. But one day, Viola’s twin brother, Sebastian, appears in the city... The plays “The Tempest,” “A Winter's Tale,” and “Twelfth Night” were written during a time when the already recognized genius was creating, hoping for the performance of his works at the court of his great admirer, Queen Elizabeth I. The lightness and charm, unexpected twists of plots, and exquisite humor make Shakespeare's late plays beloved by both readers and directors.
